The object of the invention is to provide an electronic padlock (), by means of which the chance of erroneous opening of the electronic padlock is reduced. The electronic padlock according to the invention comprises a body () and a shackle (). The body has latch parts (), a cam piece () and an electronic actuator (). The electronic actuator () comprises a pivot shaft (), which is arranged to turn the cam piece () to release the latch parts () from a locking state, and also to turn the cam piece () to hold the latch parts in the locking state. In the locking state, the latch parts () prevent the shackle () from being moved to open the electronic padlock (). Between the electronic actuator () and cam piece () there is a blocking mechanism (). The blocking mechanism connects the pivot shaft () of the electronic actuator () functionally to the cam piece () to turn it with the electronic actuator () and prevent any other turning of the cam piece () in relation to the body ().
